(Pantyhose returned to Jusenkyo to get this water to splash on Happosai, so that he would become virtuous).
"Ah, peoples, I not know when, but twins drown in this spring long time ago. I make rare mistake sirs and madams, I give this to bull/crane/yeti/eel boy to give to dirty old man.."
(However, the Jusenkyo guide made a mistake and accidentally gave Pantyhose Taro the water from this twins spring instead of from the virtuous man spring. Ranma was barely able to prevent Taro from splashing Happosai with it).

"Shampoo, is that you? I can't quite see because I can't find my glasses. Anyway, could you tell Shampoo to meet me either in The Cast of Ranma 1/2 or Anything-Goes Martial Arts by clicking the left and right arrows, respectively? Hmmm, maybe I should see her back at the Ranma 1/2 Library Main Page. Oh well, I'll find her sooner or later..."
